About Jack Rabbit Spring
Jack Rabbit Spring offers a rare oasis in Nevada’s Mojave Wasteland, featuring comfortably warm waters at 82°F. This primitive warm spring is cherished for its ecological importance, surrounded by rugged desert terrain that invites quiet reflection and connection with nature.
Getting There
Reaching Jack Rabbit Spring requires navigating remote desert roads, often best suited for high-clearance vehicles. Parking is sparse and limited to natural clearings near the spring, with little to no formal signage. Modest hiking over rocky ground rewards you with the tranquil spring.
What to Expect
The spring’s warm water flows steadily into a small, natural pool framed by native desert plants. The atmosphere is peaceful and untouched, with few visitors venturing here due to the challenging access. There are no developed facilities, so expect a raw, authentic Nevada swimming hole experience.
Tips for Visitors
Visit during cooler months to avoid extreme desert heat and bring plenty of water and sun protection. Pack out all trash and minimize impact to preserve this sensitive ecosystem. Since Jack Rabbit Spring is a primitive site, there are no entry fees or amenities—come prepared to embrace the rugged solitude.
